Описание: UK Inquiry Confirms Officials Ignored Grooming Gangs Over Racism Fears | Vantage with Palki Sharma

A landmark report by Baroness Louise Casey has confirmed that British police and public officials failed to act on grooming gang crimes to avoid accusations of racism. The report highlights systemic failings, noting a disproportionate number of offenders were Asian men, and that authorities ignored data, dismissed reports, and downplayed the scale of the abuse. With an estimated 500,000 children at risk annually, and only 700 grooming cases officially recorded last year, the findings have triggered a political reckoning. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has apologised and ordered a national inquiry, marking a major shift in policy and accountability.
